The world finally got a peek at the baby daughter of rapper Kanye West and ubiquitous reality TV queen Kim Kardashian. The photo was unveiled Friday morning during a visit from West to the set of the Kris Jenner Show — Kardashian’s mother.

Jenner gushed of her granddaughter: “She’s beautiful. She has Kim’s eyes. ... It’s so cute the way you’re so obsessed with this baby.”

Earlier, during the syrupy-sweet chat, West poured out his love for Kardashian — the socialite turned TV phenomenom thanks to a lurid sex tape.

“It’s hard for anyone to find love, especially ... if you’re famous — or, as they call me, polarizing,” West said. “There’s times when I wasn’t with her, I wanted to be with her so bad I thought about taking up sports.”

West was giving a nod to his partner’s previous penchant for playing with sports stars.

Now, the twosome are focused on the baby.

“It takes time to understand,” West said. “You met a brand-new person. The thing I think about as a dad is just protection. My only goal is to protect my daughter. That’s my instinct.”

West said he’s sees the baby’s birth as a big change in his life — and the creation of a new brand.

“Me and my girlfriend’s mother are of different brands, in a way,” he said of Jenner. “It’s not about anybody being at odds. It’s about us all helping each other and improving each other. ... The way I talk to people (is) too sharp, sometimes it’s hard for me to make small talk. It’s hard for me to ask what the weather is like. That’s what your family and Kim is teaching me, being a better person.

“There’s only one brand now, and that’s family,” he said.

The loss of his own mother, Donda in 2008, following a liposuction operation has made West more committed than ever to family.

“After I lost my mother, there was times I felt like I, you know, I would put my life at risk,” West said. “I felt like sometimes I didn’t have something to live for. Now I have two really special people to live for.”
